Summary
- A doctor was fatally shot by a man posing as a patient.
- The murder was allegedly orchestrated by a rival doctor over financial disputes.
- Three individuals, including another doctor, have been apprehended.
- A payment of Rs 2 lakh was made as an advance for the murder.
In Bijnor, police arrested three individuals, including a fellow doctor, in connection with the murder of paediatrician Rajkumar. The shooting took place two days prior inside Dr. Rajkumar's chamber in Nagina town, carried out by a man posing as a patient. Investigators revealed the crime was pre-planned, stemming from a financial dispute between the victim and another doctor, Neeraj Kumar.
Dr. Rajkumar and Dr. Neeraj Kumar had a past professional connection and jointly opened a hospital in 2022. However, disagreements over finances and loan repayments led Dr. Rajkumar to dissolve their partnership and establish his own hospital in January 2024. The new venture's success allegedly caused financial strain for Dr. Neeraj Kumar's hospital.
